Sana'a similar to the one that occurred during the Iranian Revolution.
Houthis not only enjoy poor relations with the Western countries,
but also with the Sunni world – even in Yemen, clashes between the
two groups are common. Al-Islah, the Yemeni branch of the Muslim
Brotherhood, al-Qaeda in places such as Al Bayda' and Saudi-backed

Despite having taken control of Sana'a, the Houthis face serious

of countries suffering disaster in the Middle East.
What Yemen now needs most of all is "reconciliation." The first

peace and democracy in Yemen. The U.N. and its representatives in
Yemen of course have a major responsibility here. One of the essential
preconditions for reconciliation is the establishment of an international
problem-solving delegation and for that delegation to be able to pro-

of a solution have been hammered out, these should be set out in a
legally binding document, to which all sides must remain faithful.
The delegation can prepare a road map to a solution by observing
the present situation and circumstances. It is vitally important for the
